We had details from test screenings of Transformers Rise of the Beasts back in August but the details were hard to corroborate. They still are, though we definitely have more info regarding the movie now than we did then. So we are giving you that info now so that all fans have access to all the info possible. Here are a few things to note first:
1. This could all be fabrications
2. Avoid if you want no SPOILERS, even though this may be misinformation
3. Below is a composite of 2 viewers who may have had different cuts shown to them
4. As with test screenings, what is shown may be heavily changed for the final film
5. The sources will not be given to protect whoever transcribed this, if whoever transcribed this wants to be credited, let us know.
-The basic plot Synopsis is that the Autobots and Terrorcons are fighting over these "Transwarp" keys. The Autobots want them to [go] home, while the Terrorcons want them to bring Unicron to Earth
-There was one decepticon at the beginning. He was a generic no name, but he turned into a bus. Prime kills him in the beginning to give you that Bot vs Con feel.
-Optimus Prime will start the movie as being distrustful/aloof of humans, but will learn to care for them and become a protector during the film.
-Bumblbee isn't in it much. He talks radio like we're used too. Nothing specific about his past adventure, but he does try to tell Prime humans ain't all bad earlier in the film.
-Mirage is the human-friend of the film, meets Noah (anthony ramos). Reminded Source of Sam and Bee, i.e. the "stolen car" chase
-There is an implied past relationship between Arcee and Wheeljack, and there are sexual jokes that are weird and random
-The Wheeljack head change is unfortunately true. He has a generic autobot face with big dorky glasses, not like Que's.
-Heroes go to Peru/Machu Picchu via a cargo plane Transformer, to look for part of a key.
-The cargo ship IS Stratosphere. Our cut had him voiced by John DiMaggio with a Scotsman voice. [It sounds like] the actor who voiced Arcee in Prime did the voice in this movie too.
-[regarding the Maximals] Airrazor and Primal do most of the talking. Airrazor is a kind and wise maximal who is used to becoming exposition for our heroes. Primal is a proud warrior who is tasked to guarding on of the keys with Cheetor and Rhinox. He kinda mentors Prime a bit about being kind and trust humans. Cheetor and Rhinox are just there. Cheetor says a few lines and even calls Primal boss bot. Rhinox says one line and they all laugh it off like "You can talk?". They have their maximize moment, but the ps2 graphics that were their character models made them like all the same unfortunately. I'm sure that will be different when it's finished
-Action is great but gets messy
-[Airrazor] is attacked by the terrorcons and hacked, turns evil.
-Scourge, the main Terrorcon of the 3, activates a beam in the sky in which more enemies come out of. Maximals and Autobots fight and defeat them.
-There are no true Predacons. Only a bunch of Scorponoks (?) But they don't do anything other than be scorpions.
-The designs [of those scorpions] were original. They were larger than your average transformer
-[Dominique Fishback's character Elena] was SO bland. He character is a museum intern who wants to work for the museum and she has the knowledge for it, but that gets left behind completely. When all is said and done, she doesn't even get a little resolution at the end. She only there to read old maximal hyroglphs.
-No military [in the film]. Just suburban kids and robots. The main humans are Noah and Elena and Noah's sick brother as the largest support character. There's other small roles obviously, but those three are the most important
There is also a report of a midcredit sting with Unicron. Interestingly, there is no mention of time travel, so what we, and other publications, suggested here might not come to pass afterall.

When Legacy deluxe Needlenose was revealed in a livestream, he was shown to have lots of playability with his targetmasters. They were shown to have 4 other playability modes with Needlenose, along with their robot modes. That was then followed by a small comment saying that there was another secret function with Needlenose and things were left at that. Well, thanks to more images from Sonic Bomber-Core, it looks like that has been revealed. Needlenose seems to fit perfectly with Legacy Skyquake, thanks to some grooves/pegs. This could be that extra fuctionality since it resembles the look G1 Skyquake would have when his Predator jets connected with him. Back then, the connection was to reveal and image through a lens which was that toy's gimmick, but this would be an homage to the "docking" look it would have. That gives further proof (not that we needed much more) that Legacy Skyquake would come out in G1 colours and this connection point would be for a new Predator jet toy using the Needlenose mold.
Of course, these are all assumptions, but there is definitely a purposeful connection point found, so we'll see to what extent all these guesses will be shown to be right. That would explain why the Needlenose mold had an extra secret function that could not be revealed during Needlenose's reveal.
The pictures also show how the weapon is stored in alt mode.
If you were one of the ones that thought Hasbro would reveal a secret third tier for HasLab Deathsaurus then give yourself a pat on the back! Though not explicitly called a "tier", Hasbro, via email, has let backers know that as a thank you they will be including Micromasters Pīpō and Boater with every order to complete the Rescue Patrol that started with the Victory Saber campaign. These are entirely new molds that will almost certainly never see release outside of here.
Pictures of the new figures can be seen below along with the email from Hasbro. Deathsaurus blew away expectations by ending with over 27,000 figures backed (currently 27,442), more than that of Victory Saber's 26,211. But the final number wont be known for a little longer as they've given backers until January 6, 2023 to cancel if they choose, as well as unresolved payment issues.
Congratulations! We're happy to announce that the Transformers Generations Deathsaurus HasLab project has met its backing goal and will officially go into production!
We just learned that the evil Deathsaurus has kidnapped Pīpō and Boater! Good news, Transformers fans! Your overwhelming support of this HasLab saved the two members of the Autobot Rescue Patrol Team from the clutches of the Decepticons!
As a THANK YOU for your support in making the Transformers Generations Deathsaurus campaign our most successful Transformers HasLab to date, each product will include Pīpō and Boater figures seen here:

It's with a heavy heart that we report the passing of Ichiro Mizuki on December 6. He was 74. He'll be remember by Transformers fans as the singer of the opening and ending theme songs for Transformers: Zone. He revealed in July that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer that had metastasized to his lymph nodes and brain, this followed partial vocal chord paralysis he had been receiving therapy for since 2021.
Mizuki had the nickname "the Emperor of Anime Songs" due to his 50+ year career singing songs for many well known anime titles as recently as 2021, many of which were based on giant robots and heroes. His credits include several Kamen Rider and Super Sentai titles, Getter Robo Go, Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Lupin III: Part II, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Combattler V, Star Blazers 2199, Go-Lion, Voltes V and Tiger Mask II to name only a few.
Ever since December 1st, we've been getting non stop Transformers Rise of the Beasts news. And when it comes to toys, we have a whole year's worth catching up to 2023 movie toys, giving us a smorgasbord of potential toy news,leaks,first looks ect. And this news has all of that. Sonic Bomber made a Facebook post showing two new Transformers Rise of the Beast deluxe toys: Wheeljack and Nightbird. These toys are assumed to be from the mainline and not studio series although we now know that both series of toys are based on preliminary designs. These are the same size, price and complexity as the Studio Series deluxes.
These are our very first looks at not just the toys but also the characters, who were not highlighted in the first trailer. There were supposed leaks regarding these character designs and these toys support them with Nightbird's head looking like her G1 self and Wheeljack having a redesign from the Bumblebee movie design to have large glasses and no large "ears" (which could have been guessed from the back view we got from the trailer).
People have asked why this Wheeljack has more of that typical "nerd" look and this might be further proof that Michael Bay has a more hands on role, similar to the one he had in the Ninja Turtles movie, a movie where we know he dictated several looks. This looks very similar to Donatello from that film, where Michael Bay does like having obvious visual cues to reinforce a personality or trait. It's easier when handling a movie with a ton of characters, like this one where we have 3 main factions (and 2 lesser ones). These are just assumptions and guesses, meant to provide possible reasons for this change.
To answer another question, here are all the toys which will get a deluxe release in the mainline independently of their release in the Studio Series line:
Tra Mv7 Core Boy Deluxe Class Ast with the EAN: 5010993983308
Deluxe Bumblebee (Codename: George)
Deluxe Mirage (Codename: Pluto)
Deluxe Wheeljack (Codename: Barcelona)
Deluxe Airazor (Codename: Titan)
Deluxe Nightbird (Codename: Outlaw)
Of those we have now seen Airazor, Wheeljack and Nightbird.
Lots of news dropped, all regarding toys aimed at younger Transformers fans. We have our first look at the bot mode for the upcoming Rise of the Beasts Bumblebee transforming mask from a Baidu post, as well as several new stock images for more kids' toys from e0bay seller rubyemerelite. We can see that the Dinobots Unite Cyberverse combiners are being rereleased in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line, to serve as evergreen type product on shelves for any gift giving needs, along with two brand new toys: Titan Changer Cheetor and Soundwave. These are 11 inches high and feature the evergreen style we see in other inexpensive Transformers toys. Looking at the back we see that they have a satisfying level of complexity for younger kids, especially Soundwave. Regardless if you are into these or not, it is impressive to see the level of detail on Cheetor's sculpting with a fresh take on his helmet giving it a more Samurai look than usual. As for Soundwave, Hasbro was able to make a simplified transformation without resorting for fake "tapedeck chest kibble" in the front of the vehicle as they had done on their previous simplified "evergreen/Cyberverse" Soundwaves.
Good news to those who backed Haslab Transformers Deathsaurus, all tiers have been unlocked. By now having over 17000 orders, this toy will now come with the throne and stand. This is great since we now know that the throne can store all the weapons we got when the previous tier unlocked and backers now get an even more complete package for the same price of $179.99. People who have yet to back it have today and tomorrow left to do so: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... eathsaurus
